Never apologize to this human fart.
I’m not hearing the words “arbitrary & capricious” enough these days. There are laws protecting us against the actions of agencies that are irrational in this way. The funds would come through an agency, like the Education Dept, not from Trump’s pocket.

So it’s okay for billionaires to keep lining their pockets (at the expense of everyone else), but school children can’t have free lunch. Riiiiight. So much winning.

JFC. What, exactly, does he think happened? The pilgrims got of the Mayflower and happy, happy, funtimes ensued forever the end? What an absolute shart of a human.
MAGA racists trying to whitewash history and pretend it never happened, with every intention of trying to reimplement it. #MAGA = #Nazis #FascistFelon strikes, again.
Are you in favor of defunding public schools because they teach about slavery & Black history.
If so, why?

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

I can’t stop thinking about a conversation I had with a loved one a couple of years ago about how 2A was THE most important freedom because it was the only true protection against a tyrannical government. Where are these self-appointed vigilantes of the constitution now?
